turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by 
one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

FCC Caution
